When is it appropriate/inappropriate to send 3 recs?

Are there any good rules of thumb in determining when you should and should not send an additional req?
For me, I'm trying to decide because I've been out of undergrad since 2010 (started grad this year in 2011). BUT given extensive work experience, I think it's only appropriate to have one recommendation from my boss.
Would it be wise for me to send a third recommendation from an academic source. I was thinking one grad and one undergrad.
So in total two academic, one professional?
